Transcript

In Mahjong Island, to know how close you are to winning, count your Groups, then your Pair.

This hand has three Groups. A winning hand needs four.

It has one Pair, which is all it needs.

These last three tiles don't fit together yet. That's the fourth Group still to build.

Count Groups and the Pair every turn, and you'll always know what you still need.
